  • How do we develop a billing engine that accurately tracks every dollar from customer charges to partner payouts, accommodating promotions, refunds, revenue sharing, and multi-jurisdiction taxation?
  • How do we implement AI-driven customer support capable of proactive actions, such as issuing refunds and applying credits, while communicating effectively about delays?
